- I mean, that's just the way those movies are. So we were okay with leaning into how similar Agnes was to other exorcism films and just how generic it was at the beginning of the story, because we knew what we were going to do in the second half of the movie.
- It's like I'm ripping off stuff but I don't know what I'm ripping off or that I'm not really paying homage to. I just do it on accident because I'm just working intuitively.
- The location was presented to me, and then it was asked "Can you work with this location?" And I was like yeah, and I wanted to work with these actors, and so I've got a location and I've got the actors. So I wrote the script around them, as opposed to writing a script and saying, "How can I get this made?
- Sometimes you meet a new actor and you just hit it off and you guys can go and create from there. But usually it takes time to build a foundation, a good relationship where they trust you and you trust them.
- I don't know that we thought much about it really. We just got the characters in the room and got them talking. Vampires, used tampons and dinner parties is what came out.
- You know, on Climate Of The Hunter we had a two person camera crew. On Agnes, it was probably something like five or six, like a lot. A lot for us, not for most movies, but for us that was the grandest scale we'd ever worked on. This one was kind of splitting the difference, so I think it was a matter of not having a lot of stuff to work with, but still having a little bit more to work with. I think you've got to get creative when that situation occurs

A lot for us, not for most movies, but for us that was the grandest scale we've ever worked on. This one was kind of splitting the difference, so I think it was a matter of not having a lot of stuff to work with, but still having a little bit more to work with. I think you've got to get creative when that situation occurs. The monitor was in black and white, and we were lighting for black and white, so I think that has a lot to do with it, too.
